• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Latest Accolades Highlight Brand’s Excellence in Automotive Engineering and Overall Customer Satisfaction
  • Telluride earned top spot in the Upper Midsize SUV segment, while Stinger was awarded for the Midsize Premium Car segment
  • APEAL award comes on the heels of Kia’s #1 ranking in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study
IRVINE, Calif., July 23, 2020 – Two of Kia Motors America’s (KMA) most talked about models – the Telluride SUV and Stinger sport sedan – have earned a J.D. Power Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) award for their respective segments. The announcement follows Kia being named the highest ranked brand in the industry in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study.

“At Kia, we take pride in delivering a world-class ownership experience, whether customers are interested in driving a bold, capable three-row SUV like the Telluride, or the head-turning, powerful Stinger,” said Sean Yoon, President & CEO, Kia Motors America, Kia Motors North America. “We are honored to win not just one, but two segments in the APEAL study, which further reinforces the brand’s ‘Give It Everything’ approach to each model we build.”

With minor enhancements and a special appearance package – Nightfall Edition – for the 2021 model year, the in-demand Telluride continues to impress with quality, design and value. The latest generation of the Telluride gains added towing capability, additional convenience with a remote engine start button, and available LED headlamps.

Now in its third year, the 2020 Stinger remains Kia’s highest-performance vehicle in a highly competitive segment. To further impress buyers and enthusiasts, the brand introduced the GT-Line on the 2.0L, featuring the eye-catching appeal of the 3.3L V6 GT with the drive and design of a genuine Grand Touring vehicle.
